quick question

[wchico15]

do you have to remove the no.3 cylinder head cover to remove the head?

Unbolt the headbolts?

On my last Supra when we removed the head all we did was remove everything restricting the head from being removed. Such as fuel lines, ect. Just remove the valve covers and take off the head bolts if you have everything out of the way.

Such as

Fuel lines, wiring harnesses, plugs, hoses, and so fourth.

Then head bolts and BAM. But I would recommend removing the headbolts in the TSRM pattern and using a torque wrench.

ok so the no.3 head cover doesnt have to be removed? because ive removeed everyhting else...including the headbolts in the specified pattern, and now when i try to lift the head off..it wont! its like stuck or something. any tips??? i thought maybe it was the no.3 head cover.

when i pulled my head off
all we did was remove two lines
and undid the 10 bolts and the cover came right off

cept when we looked at the cylinders
one of the valve seals was busted

cylinder six was full of oil

WTF!>!?!!?!?!

Wchi: The 3rd cover is just a cover nothing else.

You may need to break the seal between the head and the block there's a spot at the front corner that you can lever with a screwdriver to pop it up.
